Introduction

Thank you for downloading my report.

I'm really excited to have you here, because I truly

believe that this "all meat and no filler" report can

literally change your future.

But there’s one thing you need to realize...

...just reading this information won't do you any

good.

You need to turn this info into action, because...

... only action produces results!

Are you willing to do that?

Good... then let's roll!

The aim of this report is to take you step by step

through the process of writing short, profitable

articles quickly.

Should you want to expand your article writing,

and publish a complete Ebook, then I invite you

to sign up for my (free) 4 Day eCourse: “How To

Write, Create, Promote And Sell You Own Ebook

Online” at: http://www.ebooks-made-easy.com

I will show you exactly what you need to do, and how

to do it efficiently so you can build traffic to your

website and ultimately increase your online sales.

It’s no secret that many article marketers bring in

hundreds of new visitors/customers to their websites

just from writing a few articles each week that

specifically relate to various niches.

And the great thing is that, once you've written an

article, it becomes a viral marketing tool for years

to come.

One thing you need to understand, and that is that...

http://www.ebooks-made-easy.com/


Everybody can write!

If you've ever written an email to a friend or loved

one - you can write.

If you've ever written an essay for school - you can

write.

Many people totally freeze up when they hear about

writing. They believe that writing is an “art”.

Well, if you believe that, then I have good news for

you.

Writing articles is not an art, it’s FUN!

This may sound strange now, but I promise you that

when you’ve finished this report, you will enjoy

pumping out informative articles every day.

Now, before I begin, let me get this right...

If you hear the word “article”, you might think of

stories in magazines and/or newspapers.

To avoid any confusion, all references in this report

to the word “article” mean this:

Article: A short, informative piece of writing

that conveys an idea or concept in a useful,

interesting and/or entertaining manner.

Notice the word “informative”?

A good article tells the reader something that he/she

didn’t know before.

People reading articles expect to either

- learn something

or…

- be entertained


...and in the ideal case, both.

Okay, now that we have this sorted, we can get to the

real meat of article writing.

Why should you write an article?

It’s obvious.

If you want to drive (free) highly targeted traffic

to your website/sales page, then article marketing is

one of the best traffic-generating strategies.

The search engines love great content, and if you can

provide it to them, they will reward you by sending

hurdles of traffic (read potential buyers) to your

website.

An informative article, filled with lots of keywords

and an attractive title, is the best guarantee to

getting many visitors/buyers, and this without paying

for it.

Another reason is that you can sell your articles to

others.

Many business owners and webmasters (for example,

those who haven’t read this report ☺) don’t have the

skill -or time- to write their own content, and they

are willing to pay good money for well written

articles.

The Information Business is a HUGE market, and the

Internet is all about delivering information.

It’s a proven fact that the majority of web surfers

are looking for information online, be it free or

paid.

If you can’t provide good content to your site

visitors or subscribers, then your business is doomed

to fail.

You can pay a company to send millions of people to

your website. But if they can’t find anything useful


on your pages, they will click away, and never come

back.

Most people think that to write a good article, you

have to be born with a special talent, study all the

classics, and know all the rules of English grammar,

usage, etc.

CRAP!

I know people who sold millions worth of products

using the power of the written word, and yet, they

flunked English in high school!

You should not be handicapped by thinking that

everything has to be "grammatically correct".

When you are writing articles, you can forget all

that stuff.

To write a great article, you just have to enjoy

talking and communicating with your customer.

It’s sad to see that many people don't get to the

real writing part because they think that it’s hard

to put something down on paper.

And so they look to hire writers at bidding sites

like Elance.com or RentACoder.com

BAD PRACTICE!

Most of the writers on these bidding sites are from

foreign countries, and don’t speak English very well.

Their copy is often badly written and full of errors

and grammar mistakes.

Sentences contain the wrong words for the context,

and spelling is often different/wrong.

In other words, foreign writers may be bad for your

business.

It may also lead to a ton of rewriting on your part.


So, you’re much better of with writing your own copy.

Don’t let that put you off.

The more articles you write, the more likely it is

that you will receive traffic to your website, and

traffic means sales.

It’s that simple.

You just need to get yourself started.

Writing your first article is most probably the most

difficult part of article writing.

It can be very daunting to sit down for the first

time in front of your computer with a blank Word

document on the screen.

I know, because I remember the first time I wrote an

article. I sat there for about 10 minutes looking at

a blank screen, waiting for the muse to hit me…

And the muse didn’t show up ☺

The key to getting that first article out comes down

to knowing what you are going to write about.

You should write about something that you have a

passion for.

You may love playing golf. Or have a passion for

gardening.

Whatever it is, if you have a strong feeling for your

niche, then you will succeed.

Now that you know where to write about, it’s time to

do some research first.

Let me share a secret with you.


How To Use Amazon To Build TONS Of Great High Quality Content!

I don’t know about you, but when I have an idea for

some new content for one of my sites or blogs, the

first place I look to is Google or Yahoo! and do a

normal search.

However, there’s a problem when you do this, as the

search engines have been hijacked by millions of

automatically generated pages that are nothing more

than lists of other sites, which rank highly in the

search results.

So, it can take a lot of searching to find the type

of result that you’re looking for, a site with good

old fashioned information content on it.

Well, here’s an easy solution, in the form of one of

the biggest giants on the internet; Amazon.com.

Amazon started off selling books, branched out into

music and now sells everything - including kitchen

sinks.

But as article and content creators, it’s the book

section that we’ll go for.

Picture yourself, standing in a real life bookstore

in a big city.

Now imagine that you had all the books on the subject

you were researching, open at the same time right in

front of you.

How would you like to be able to flick through all

the books simultaneously, and instantly find the

pages with the keywords on them, and then read all

the actual pages?

This is exactly what Amazon has done for you!

They have created a brilliant tool that is perfect

for researching content, called “Search Inside!”


All of the results that you find in each of the books

are highly targeted, 100% specific to your niche and

your research needs.

And all the results are from books by expert authors

on their subject.

Big print companies have deemed the content good

enough to invest their money to publish the books,

and now you get to read them all online instantly!

It’s a article writer’s dream; laser-targeted answers

to all your questions, whole pages of content on your

subject that you can read, digest and rewrite, and

best of all, delivered to your computer in seconds.

Here’s a step-by-step example to show you how it’s

done.

I’ve used gardening as an example but your search can

be as wide or narrow and tightly focused as you want.

STEP 1

Log into http://www.amazon.com

- You’ll need an account if you don’t have one and a

credit card on file for verification. At the top of

the page click on the “Amazon.com” tab.

STEP 2

In the search box, just under it, select “Books” and

enter your search term in the box beside it.

I used “gardening” and from the results I got I

selected “New Illustrated Guide to Garden -by

Reader's Digest editors” which was Item 3 on the list.

I chose this because it had the Search Inside! logo

at the top of the image of the book cover.

STEP 3

http://www.amazon.com/


When you click on the book title link, there is the

product description and price, then several more

sections underneath with yellow/orange titles.

The 6th section is called “Inside This Book” and this

is the one we’re interested in.

This is what it looks like :-

At the bottom of the Inside This Book section is a

search box where you can search this book only.

This search returns all the instances the search term

is found in the book, along with three lines of text

around where the term is found.

I’m using this box to search the term “winter plants”

as an example, and here’s what the search found:

Search Box


Do you recognize this?

It’s basically a Google search – but only 100 times

better!

Every listing is relevant. I found 274 for my winter

plants search, and nearly all of them would be useful

to look at in some way if I was building content

around “winter plants”.

Each of the pages can be clicked on to view it.

For your further benefit, just because they know that

you want to do some content research, they have

included another feature in the Search Inside!

section called Statistically Improbable Phrases. (SIP)

These are phrases which occur many times in the book

you’re searching, relative to all the books available

for Search Inside!

So, if for example you were searching for information

on “gardening”, your SIP’s list might include “soil

layering”, “outdoor planting date”, “good hedge

plant”, “areas with short growing seasons” etc.

These SIP’s can then be clicked on to produce a list

of all the books in “Search Inside!” that contain the

phrase.

The list contains each page that is found, and the

pages can then be clicked on to view them.

STEP 4

We’re now going to look at the SIP’s. Remember these

are effectively keywords that appear more times in

this book than in most others, so they are highly

specific for your niche.

You can then drill these down further and find where

these search terms appear in all the books in Search

Inside!


We’ll click on one of the SIP’s to see what we get,

and this time we’ll use “good hedge plant”.

Here are the results for “good hedge plant” in SIP’s:

Voila!

We’ve found 11 books in Search Inside!, using this

phrase, all of which can be drilled down and re-

searched with other search terms.

Remember that Search Inside! has millions of books

covered.

Plus, if you copy and paste the results from the

SIP’s search above into Word or Notepad, instead of

just giving you the headlines of each book, it

returns another “Google” type search with three lines

These are the SIPs!


of description for each.

You can then read sections of each book, without

having to open them all individually.

Absolutely amazing!

Now you have another 11 books to read up on and find

more great content.

Do you think you’ll be able to find a few new ideas

for writing that article? ☺

While researching, you should take notes of any

aspect that you think you should cover in your own

article.

If you’re lazy, you can also visit Ezinearticles.com

to check out articles. Just don't ever copy anybody

else's work.

Read about what people write, and see how they use

their own style to give their article a unique

feeling.

How To Kill Writers Block!

If you’re stuck, or can’t find the right mood to get

into your writing, then here’s a great exercise that

will get you right into the writing flow.

It’s important that you have a topic in mind before

you start.

Start your word processor, and open a new page.

Now, keep in mind that this is an exercise. Nobody

will ever see what you’re writing.

Just begin writing a page. Do not correct any

spelling or grammar mistakes, just keep typing what

comes up in your mind when you think about your topic.

Write until you are finished with the first page.


Now look at the page that you’ve just written. Check

your copy, and try to find the good ideas, the parts

that read easy.

This is the style that you’ll use next.

Now, simply delete this page, and start with a new

one.

This time, you should try to use the style and ideas

of your first writing, and you’ll soon feel the flow

come.

Writing will begin to feel like fun.

You may find that you have written far more than you

imagined you could, in quite a short period of time.

Once you are finished writing the new page, you can

begin correcting spelling and grammatical errors.

Even this part will make you feel excited. You will

have created something that you can be proud of.

The more you continue using this technique, the more

your writing will flow and the more enjoyment and

creative bursts you will experience in the process.

You can repeat this method any time you have a

writers-block, or suffer a lack of inspiration.

Ok, back to writing your first article.

It’s important to set a schedule for yourself to

write.

I like to write in the morning, as I feel most

comfortable and productive at that time.

I also make sure that it’s quiet when I work. I don’t

like to be distracted by radio, music, the telephone,

or other outside noises.


I even close my email program, as incoming emails are

also one of the biggest time-wasters.

Most professional writers have a strict schedule, and

stick to it.

While you may not consider yourself a professional

writer, if you plan to use article marketing you can

definitely benefit from approaching your writing time

like a pro.

To get the most out of your article marketing

campaign, you will need to submit well-written

articles consistently.

That means writing, writing, and more writing!

Professional writers are highly disciplined, and

write everyday.

You can read a great post at Study Hacks where the

writing habits of several successful non-fiction

writers are analyzed.

When I plan to write a new article, I open my word

processor (MS Word or Notepad), and enter the most

important ideas/tips first.

Doing this will quickly give you new ideas to come up

with your own article.

It’s also a great way to get into the “mental writing

state”.

Make sure you know why you are writing the article.

You may want to attract visitors to your website to

build a list or to sell a product or service.

Whatever the reason, always be clear about it before

you start writing.

Warning: an article is NOT a sales letter. You

can not just write an article to promote your

product.

http://calnewport.com/blog/?p=145


The main idea behind writing articles is to

provide your readers with quality information,

and give them an incentive to find out more about

you or your business.

That’s why you will place a resource box at the

end of your article. More on that later.

Below are some tips for writing five to ten articles

in one day.

Keep a notebook and make notes about what you will

write about before you start writing.

Writing a short article is no rocket science. You

don’t write an article to apply for the Nobel price.

Of course, it helps if you have a natural inclination

for sentence structure, topics, and idea formation.

Just don’t try to be a writer!

Don't use big words, flowery sentences, or fancy

prose to impress your reader.

Always write for the common man or woman, because

whether you realize it or not, you're on the clock

with readers.

Tick, tick, tick.

Don't bore them into clicking away.

Don’t be afraid to dumb down your copy.

Write in a style so that seventh or eighth graders

will understand what you're saying.

If you have poor typing skills, you may need to use a

spelling and grammar checker.

But the most important thing is to enjoy what you are

doing. No matter what I write about, I need some

interest in the topic.


Writing articles helps to clear my mind and it makes

me feel good.

It’s also good practise to write a note to yourself

about the goals and dreams that you wish to achieve.

Don’t be afraid, just let it flow. Write it all down

and do not worry about your ideas.

WRITE first, think later.

Just do it.

Grab Attention With Your Title

The most important part of your article is the title.

It’s the first thing that people who find your

article, will see. They are going to make a split

second decision to read your article - or not.

You can have the greatest article in the world, but

if your title doesn't grab your readers attention,

then it was all for nothing.

So, you need to come up with a clear title that

explains briefly what's inside the article.

Try to focus on the main benefit the buyer gets from

reading your article.

Once you have established that, you’re halfway there.

Let Your Body Do The Talking

Now, let’s get to the article “body”.

The major advantage of writing on the Internet is

that you can write in an informal way.

You can make your article sound like you’re talking

right to you reader.

Use short sentences.


Be to the point.

Entertaining.

You can even be a bit controversial.

You just don’t want to bore your reader to death with

high-brow statements or difficult theories.

Online articles generally have three parts:

- Title and/or subtitle

- Body text

- Author’s bio, credentials, and links

Each part of an article has a different purpose, and

all three are equally important.

Here are a few examples of the many forms an article

can take.

How-to: One of the most popular types of articles

is one that explains how to do or use something.

People love to learn things from someone who is

specialised in something.

Opinion: Whatever the field you work in, there are

always new products or services. You can write an

article, focusing on a special aspect of your

business, and offer your opinion on how it will

affect the industry.

Ebook excerpt: If you’re selling an Ebook, you have

a set of articles built right into your product.

You can re-write a chapter, or write a condensed

article, based on one of the ideas in your book.

This method always tends to make great articles.

Top lists. Many articles come in this format. Think

about an article with a title like:

“Seven Tips To Prepare Your Job Interview”


or

“Five Essential Tips To Write A Killer Article.”

Here’s a website where you can get tons of new ideas

for coming up with a “How To” article:

http://www.ehow.com

TIP: You can also sign up for this site, and

publish your own “How To” articles there, and at

the same time you can get paid for it.

How To Create A Search Engine Friendly Article

A great way to expose your article on the search

engines is to optimize your articles as if they were

pages on your website.

Here's how you can get an article ranked well and

generate tons of traffic:

1) Go to Google Adwords' Keyword Suggestion tool

and type in some general keywords in your niche.

http://www.ehow.com/

https://adwords.google.com/select/KeywordTool


Look for a good Search Volume and copy those keywords

into a spreadsheet or text document.

2) Search for those keywords in quotes on Google. For

example, if your keyword is "dog training tips",

that's exactly how I would input it in Google.

Look for results of less than 2,000,000. These search

terms are relatively easy to rank well for.

3) Write an article, optimized for those keywords.

4) Submit your article to the directories.

5) Start building backlinks to your keyword optimized

article(s) as if they were pages on your website.

You can try social bookmarking, blog posts, Hub Pages,

Squidoo pages, etc.

You will soon start getting some tasty placings for

your article(s), and ultimately each article will

start milking more traffic easily.

Your goal is to have hundreds of articles out there.

That's how you create massive traffic.

And massive traffic is how to create massive money!

If you are going to offer tips or advice, make a list

of what you intend to include in your article.

About The Length Of Your Article

A typical article generally ranges from about 200

words (3 or 4 short paragraphs) to about 1,500 words

(about 6 pages).

Longer articles can be considered as Ebooks. So, 400

to 800 words is a good general target for most

articles.

Articles that you want to see published on other

sites need to be on the shorter end.

http://www.instantinfoprofit.com/hubpages2


It is much easier for a webmaster to post a 400-word

article that can be put on one page than one that

must be broken up and given two or three pages of its

own.

Follow these tips consistently and you will be able

to write many articles every day.

Once you have finished your first article, you can

give yourself a big pat on the back.

The next time you start writing an article, it will

be a lot easier than the first.

You see, writing is just a craft and the more you do

it, the better and easier you will write.

You can write lots of articles quickly once you know

how to do it.

Spreading Your Article Around

You’re now ready to start giving you article away.

But why should you give your articles away, you may

ask yourself?

Shouldn’t you make some money from your hard work?

Relax, you will earn money — just not directly.

When you allow other people to reprint your articles

(including your resource box), you’ll have inbound

links to your website spread across the Internet.

This will boost your search engine rank and bring

more traffic to your website.

You see, your articles will help you convert more

visitors to sales.

By establishing yourself as an expert through your

informative (and free) articles, you will earn that


all-important trust Internet businesses need to

flourish.

Articles submitted to article directories should be

high quality, extremely informative material.

The reason is simple: you’re competing with hundreds,

or even thousands, of articles on similar topics. The

higher quality that your article is, the more

webmasters will choose your articles over the

competition.

And when you hit the right topic, you’re going to see

countless publishers picking up your article (along

with your resource box at the end).

And when that happens, you’re going to get thousands

of visitors.

- Possible reasons for rejection.

It can happen that some directories reject your

article.

This may be due to one of the following reasons:

1. Spelling/Grammar mistakes – I don’t need to

explain this...

2. Article not submitted to the right category – This

doesn’t happen much, as most moderators will take the

time to move your article to the right category.

3. Wrong article directory selected - If a niche

directory accepts articles only about health and

fitness, then don’t submit Internet Marketing

articles there.

4. Links in the body of the article – The majority of

directories reject the articles containing links in

the article body. So, place them only in your bido.

5. Blatantly Advertising – Articles are not a press

release or plain advertisements. If a reader has an


interest in your article, he may check your product

or service from your author resource box.

Just submitting your article to the directories alone

is going to send hundreds of incoming links to your

site.

Below are a few article directories you can submit

your articles to:

EzineArticles.com (My favourite!)

GoArticles.com

ArticleBeach.com

IdeaMarketers.com

ArticleCity.com

ArticleCentral.com

Of course, there are many more directories to submit

your article, but I will not list them here, because

nobody will ever find enough time to submit to even a

fraction of these directories.

If you want to get your articles listed in all the

directories, you have 3 options.

1) You can hire someone to do it for you.

When you hire a “virtual assistant” to do your

article submissions you won't have to look at each

site to make sure it has a category that meets the

requirements of your articles.

Most virtual assistants already work for other

article marketers, and have a list of the best

article directories, so they know where to go, and

what to do.

You also won't have to create directory accounts and

make notes of the link address, login and password

every time.

You’ll find some good freelance virtual assistants

who will take care of your article submissions at

Elance.com.

http://www.ezinearticles.com/

http://www.goarticles.com/

http://www.articlebeach.com/

http://www.ideamarketers.com/

http://www.articlecity.com/

http://www.articlecentral.com/


2) You can use an online article submission service.

For example:

WeSubmitArticles.com – This service charges you $1

per directory that your article is submitted to.

For example: If you want to list your article in 10

directories, you pay $10.00.

This makes it a good place for beginning article

marketers, who like to test things out first.

The downside is, that if you plan to submit to many

directories on a constant base, you may end up paying

a lot of money.

ArticleMarketer.com – This service charges a flat fee.

You can choose a “Quarterly”, “Annual” or “Lifetime”

membership.

I personally use this service on a regular base, and

I know other famous article writers who also have an

account there.

- If you’re going to submit a lot of articles, then

this is the way to go.

At this time of writing, you can hear an interesting

8 minute podcast at the site from Maria Marsala. She

tells you how she's gone from being a "non-writer" to

being a prolific author. And Maria didn't even like

writing in the beginning ☺

You can test ArticleMarketer for free, and submit

your article to more than 11,256 publishers on 29

article announcement forums, groups and web sites.

Submission services are easy to use, effective, and

can get your articles listed quickly in the most

important directories.

3) You can use an automated article submission

program, instead of paying for every submission.

http://www.ebooks-made-easy.com/likes/submitarticles.htm

http://www.ebooks-made-easy.com/likes/articlemarketer.htm


This is a less expensive option.

The advantage is that there are no recurring fees

involved and you can use the program whenever you

want to kick-out a series of articles in a flash.

They will be distributed to hundreds of article

directories in a fraction of the time it would

otherwise take.

Below are two of them.

- The first one is Brad Callen’s Article Submitter

This tool comes in two versions. The free version

will ask you to manually enter your login and

password info for every single directory that you

submit your article to, so it can be a tedious task.

You can also get the “Platinum Version” for a one-

time-fee. This extended version automatically enters

your login and password info every time you submit an

article.

- The second article submission software (that I

personally use, and like a lot) is Rod Beckwith’s

Instant Article Submitter.

This is a similar program like the above one, but in

my opinion, it has an easier-to-use interface.

This program transforms article marketing into a

quick, easy, and pain-free link and traffic

generation solution.

I’ve used this program numerous times, and never

noticed any bugs. Plus, it updates all the latest

article directories, and adds new features when they

come out automatically.

As a result, Instant Article Submitter gets my

highest rating. It stands out over its competitors

and the quality support and directory updates make it

http://www.ebooks-made-easy.com/likes/articlesubmitter.htm

http://www.ebooks-made-easy.com/likes/ias.htm



an easy decision.

The verdict... this program will bring you more sales,

website visitors and credibility, and won’t cut your

budget.

Power Up Your Article Marketing.

Now that you know how to spread your article around,

let’s take it one step further.

To be successful in article marketing, you will need

to write many 400-600 words articles.

I know people who write ten to fifteen articles per

day. But most of us aren't really skilled enough to

establish that.

The following tip will help...

Let’s assume that you have written your first “5

tips” article.

This article will easily lend itself to writing many

more articles.

Here’s the deal; when you write a 5 tips article you

have written the beginnings of 5 more articles.

You can take each tip and write a new article about

that tip.

Your 5 tips article is one article, and then an

article on each tip is 5 more articles.

That’s 25 articles!

Can you see the system here?

And every time you write a new article, based on one

of the 5 tips, many more ideas and topics will come

to your mind.

Of course, you should not try to include all these

ideas in one article.



Instead, capture the other ideas by writing them down

and using them for more articles.

Like I said before, article marketing is one of the

best ways to get qualified visitors to your website.

Make it a habit to write every day, and you will

steadily build a ton of traffic.

Write your articles as problem-solution articles.

Pose a problem, and then explain how to solve it.

These “how to” articles rank well because people love

to learn how to do stuff - and they search Google to

find out.

The Secret Of A Powerful Resource Box

Now, let’s take things a step further and talk about

how you close an article.

Every article you write should have an author's bio,

strategically written to look like a continuation of

the article itself.

The whole purpose of writing an article is to

have your reader read your bio and decide to

click to your website for more information.

Your article may be great and your conclusion strong,

but without a powerful resource box that asks for an

interaction (read; click), you will fail to get any

traffic.

A resource boxes with just a few words like, "Written

by John Doe" won't bring you any traffic.

Make your resource box entry stand out.

Many people write a great article, submit it to

article directories and wait for the traffic to come.


But sadly, nothing appears, and they think, "article

marketing is a load of rubbish!"

These people don't realize that they have probably

made one of the most fundamental mistakes that new

articles writers make; not using the resource box to

its full potential!

Your resource box is your key to getting traffic to

your website.

So use it right!

For example, if you write an article on how to give

up smoking, then your resource box should read

something like:

"If you liked this article and want more

information on how to restore your lungs, and

give up smoking, why not visit yoursite.com for

my free report."

Or:

“If you liked this article, then I invite you to

sign up for my free email course on how to quit

your bad smoking habit in 3 simple steps at

yoursite.com.”

Because people are already interested in what you

wrote, they are very likely to click on it.

And that’s where the marketing process begins.

Once your readers visit your site, you can ask their

email address to build a list.

To increase your sign ups, you should have a

squeeze page ready, consisting of an attractive

headline and some bullet points with effective

sales copy.

If you don’t know how to create a squeeze page,

you can download a free copy of the Squeeze Page

Creator right here. This simple to use tool will

http://www.instantinfoprofit.com/squeezecreator


create an unlimited amount of squeeze pages with just a few mouse clicks.

Ask any successful marketer, and they will agree; you

need to have a list of targeted prospects that you

can sell to over and over again.

Your list is the fundament of your success.

Like I said earlier, you can offer a free report, or

a short 3 day eCourse to make your reader want to

subscribe to your newsletter, or join your opt-in

list.

To capture the email addresses of your visitors, you

need an “opt-in form”. Most autoresponder services

will build them automatically for you.

You just copy and paste the code into your webpage,

so your visitors can leave their info with you in

return for your free offer.

If you’re looking for a reliable autoresponder and

follow up email system, I highly recommend Aweber.

It’s the one that most marketers use, and their

support and service is really top notch.

A great feature is that, unlike other services, you

can setup multiple lists from one account, so you can

build unlimited lists without paying for them apart.

Make your free offer valuable, so your visitors will

leave their info with you.

If you are into the Internet Marketing business,

and need a report to give away, you can download

lots of marketing Ebooks with Resell and Give-Away

rights from my Info Products Vault (free).

One of the great things about using a hyperlink in

your resource box, is that this will create more

backlinks to your site.

http://www.ebooks-made-easy.com/aweber.htm



Online publishers visit article directories to get

content for their website, Ezines and blogs. They

have to publish the entire article, including the

resource box content.

This means that the number of backlinks to your

website will continually grow, making your page rank

with the major search engines increase at the same

time.

Using A Disclaimer

It’s also important that every article includes a

disclaimer, giving readers permission to repost the

article on their own website.

Always state that your bio or signature file has to

be included, or you won’t be able to take advantage

of inbound links and additional traffic.

Your disclaimer should read something like:

“This article may be freely reprinted or

distributed in its entirety in any Ezine,

newsletter, blog, or website. The author’s name,

bio and website links must remain intact and be

included with every reproduction.”

This ensures you will be given credit for the article,

while allowing others to use your content without

contacting you first.

Webmasters often don’t want to take the time to

contact authors for permission, and are more likely

to reprint articles that don’t require contacting.

About Private Label Rights

Another valid reason to write articles, is that you

can sell sets of articles with Private Label Rights

to Information Marketers and Online Publishers, like

Nicole Dean does at Easy PLR.

http://www.ebooks-made-easy.com/likes/newplrcontent.htm


Nicole’s service offers unique articles and content

that can be used by Info Product creators, bloggers

and Ezine publishers to create new products and

content quickly.

The PLR articles cover different niches, and can be

used to create Ebooks, special reports, blog posts,

and email courses.

It’s the fast lane to quick online profits.

With Private Label Rights, you get complete control

over other people’s articles. You can put your name

on them, as you wrote them all by yourself.

Once you have purchased a PLR package, you may modify,

edit, re-write the articles, insert your affiliate

links in the copy, turn it into an Ebook, use them as

content for an autoresponder course, to post on your

blog, etc.

You can also use Private Label Articles to create a

private membership site, where people pay a monthly

fee to access your articles.

TIP: You can use a low-cost membership site script

like the Instant Membership Site Creator to setup

your own private membership site.

This simple script is great for beginners, and can

get you started in 60 seconds, without doing any

programming.

It also allows you to setup a one-time-offer after

people sign up for your membership site, so you have

a good chance to make a lot of sales.

I don't have to tell you how effective one-time-offer

marketing can be. Every serious marketer these days

uses the shear power of one-time-offers to generate

extra sales...

OTO's are a proven, money-generating, marketing

technique, and you should also be using a OTO page on

your own site. Click here if you want to find out

more information about using profitable One-Time-

Offers.

Or you can setup a free membership site, and give way

your articles, just like Jason Oickle does with his

Private Label Rights Club, where you can download 25

fresh articles and header graphics on different

niches every month.

There’s a very simple reason why Jason is giving away

his articles for free.

By doing this, he can quickly build a huge optin-list.

And, as everyone knows, the money is in the list.

Once you have a targeted list, that automatically

build itself, you can follow up on your leads, and

send them new product offers over and over again.

This is how the big guys earn their money.

And there’s no reason why you shouldn’t copy Jason’s

success once you know how to write articles.

There are many ways to profit from your list, and

you can read more about the different techniques

in Jimmy D. Brown’s free report, called; "Six

Steps To Six Figures With List Marketing".

Conclusion.

Now that you know how to write articles quickly, and

where to submit them for maximum exposure, all you

need to do repeat the process.

- Identify a niche market. Go to Google, enter "your

niche + products" or "buy + your niche", and you’ll

come up with unlimited ideas or traffic and sales.

- Do your research. Use Amazon.com to find out which

books are selling. Bestselling books are a great

indicator of what people are looking for.

- Write short articles with a catchy resource box,

and submit them to the article directories.

- Wait for visitors to flock over to your website,

and then turn that traffic into subscribers/buyers by

offering them a valuable freebie from your squeeze

page, in return for their email address.

- Follow up with quality tips, new articles, product

recommendations, and special offers.

That’s really all it takes.

Article marketing is the path to online traffic and

sales.

I can only point you in the right direction, and hope

that you put some of my tips to use.
